I have voted for Royal Challengers (Bangalore) just because i am from that city.

Its the test team in T-20 format. How did you vote for this? They lost once again y'day. It has become an habit of losing the game after game for BRC. They have big hitters like Cameroon White and Misbah which they are not picking for playing. The Captain should ask Kallis to sit out and include Misbah. Dunno why Dravid is not doing this. Is he afraid of somebody or just supporting the senior players as he is a senior player.

But he is second highest bidder in the IPL for the team after Mumbai and both the teams are not doing good. How can he make the profits? Could not catch your point though.

Who are those quality bowlers in Bangalore team? RC bowlers are at going at 9.21 runs per over - slightly better than Mumbai.

Ntomer, you are actually correct, for a T20, 7.33 is not so bad, it would be terrible in a 50 over ODI. I stand corrected. Yes, Goni is another great find as well, I like his run up & action. Has a good height too.
